The course work provided little in the realm of education, and I lost 21 hours when transferring to a regionally acredited university. The courses were not the least bit challenging. This so called school takes advantage of active duty military, especially junior enlisted. I enrolled in AMU because I was a LCpl in the Marine Corps with a family, and had little disposable income. AMU included books in its tuition, which allowed me to go for free because of TA. I didn't understand the difference between regional and other forms of acreditation (My fault). I have now completed my degree with a reputable university, and I hope that no other Marines, or other service members waste their time with this school.

The instructors are pretty good and they get back to you in a timely manner. However there is a deceptive practice that concerns me. When you enroll they tell you to have all your transcripts sent to the college for evaluation. After you accomplish your mission they then tell you to submit $100 dollars and they will get the transcripts for you and then evaluate them. I explained that I already took the time and effort to get the transcripts orders and delivered. They replied, "then just pay the $100 dollars for the evaluation." This was all done after I was enrolled in a class and went through the hassle of transferring to this school. Seems like a gotcha tactic. One hundred dollars is not a big deal normally except that in these trying times with high fuel prices I would have done things differently. The school also didn't know how they were supposed to interact with EarmyU. When I enrolled in a class they explained that all I had to do is to select a class from heir site and the school does the rest. Then I received a notice claiming that my tuition assistance was filed and I needed to do so. When I asked them how to do it within their guidelines they directed me back to the Army EarmyU career counselors. I called EarmyU and they explained it in detail. EarmyU was concerned because this should have been easily answered by the college EarmyU representative. Education Quality: A, Innovation: C- Have a Question?

I already had 90 credit hours (3.8 GPA) towered my BA degree when I signed up with AMU. My first class at AMU was a mandatory “intro to learning” kind of thing. I made the mistake of mentioning that I really did not feel this type of class was all that useful for a 32 year old student like myself, a 19 year old maybe - but if I don’t know how to learn at 32, then I will never know. The professor then proceeded to give me low grades on all the work I turned in after that. My academic advisor was helpful enough to push me off on another faculty member, who simply said that the professor was right and I was wrong. Now I have a D- in a class I never wanted to take and I will have to pay back tuition assistance for the class. I can’t see by looking at the syllabus and adding my grades how I got a D- (even with the professor’s bias). Several times during the course the Professor would not accept work in one of the formats that the syllabus said was acceptable. Some of the online assignments had directions that the teacher seemed to be unaware of. Education Quality: C+, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?
